5 I. PURPOSE This document provides procedures agreed upon by the broadcast and cable industry which will permit designated federal, state and local government officials to issue emergency information, instructions and warnings to the general public of Ohio by activating the State of Ohio Emergency Alert System (EAS) or any of the 12 Local (Operational) Area Systems. II. AUTHORITY 47 CFR, Part 11, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and Regulations. III. GENERAL INFORMATION A. The Ohio EAS System will utilize digital message encoding/decoding equipment which complies with the standards in the FCC rules, Part 11, and is certified by the Commission. B. The Ohio EAS System is made up of 12 Local Areas, also known as Operational Areas. This plan was prepared by members of the State of Ohio Emergency Alert System (EAS) Emergency Communications Committee (SECC) in cooperation with the State of Ohio Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and the National Weather Service (NWS). The plan provides background data and prescribes specific procedures for the broadcast and cable television media to disseminate emergency information and warnings to the general public throughout the State of Ohio, at the request of designated federal, state and local government officials, known as Notifiers. The State of Ohio EAS Plan may be activated on a day-to-day basis in response to such emergencies as: tornadoes, severe storms, flash floods, widespread fires, discharge of toxic chemicals or gases, nuclear incidents, widespread power failures, industrial explosions, civil disturbances, child abductions or any other occurrence, which poses an immediate threat to health, life, safety or property. -1-

6 C. The plan provides for access to the EAS by designated officials working in conjunction with the State Primary (SP) station (WNCI-FM) and the 24 area Local Primary (LP 1 & 2) EAS stations. The State of Ohio EAS area consists of all Ohio s 88 counties which are grouped into twelve local (operational) areas. The plan also envisions involvement of the broadcast media, as may be appropriate, in counties of Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Michigan, Indiana and West Virginia adjacent to the counties making up the Ohio EAS local areas. This is a two-way involvement, providing for EAS messages originated by Ohio stations to be disseminated over stations in adjacent states which have Ohio coverage, and for EAS messages originated by stations in adjacent states to be disseminated over Ohio stations having coverage in adjacent states. D. Acceptance of or participation in this plan shall not be deemed to prohibit a broadcast licensee or cable TV operator from exercising independent discretion and responsibility in any given situation. Stations originating EAS emergency communications shall be deemed to have conferred rebroadcast authority. E. The twelve Ohio Local Area EAS Plans shall be considered appendices to and a part of this state of Ohio EAS plan. F. EAS Designations: The following are the FCC designations reflecting the EAS status of every broadcaster and cable operator. Consult the EAS Station Listing, Attachment V to this plan to determine your EAS designation. NP (National Primary) = Sole source of national EAS alerts. In Ohio, WTAM and WLW are NP stations. These stations will feed national level alerts to the State Primary stations. SP (State Primary) = The entry point for statewide Ohio EAS announcements. WNCI, Columbus, serves as the State Primary station. The Alternate State Primary station is WLVQ. -2-

7 SR (State Relay) = In Ohio, several Public Broadcasting TV and radio stations and some LP stations (designated as LP-3) serve in this capacity to deliver statewide emergency alerts to all LP stations in the state. The Ohio ETV network distributes WNCI (SP) audio to these stations via their fiber optic system. LP-1 and LP-2 (Local Primary) = EAS entry point stations for activating the EAS in each operational area. There will be at least two in each area. The LP-1 is the primary Local Primary station. The LP-2 is the Alternate Local Primary station. LP 1 and 2 stations are to be monitored by all participating stations in the area. LP-3 (Local Primary 3) = In Ohio several stations serve as relay stations to deliver station emergency announcements to LP-1 and LP-2 stations throughout the state. LP-3 stations also serve as monitoring points for stations that cannot pickup a signal from an LP-1 or LP-2. PN ( National) = Most broadcasters and cable operators are designated as PN. They monitor the area LP stations and deliver EAS alerts directly to the general public. NN (Non-participating National) = Broadcasters who hold an NN Authorization from the FCC are required to sign off during a national EAS activation. There are very few of these in Ohio. IV. OHIO EAS CONFIGURATION The Ohio EAS is a fully automated system allowing notifiers through dedicated encoders to selectively provide Ohio citizens with timely emergency information and warnings. This state plan outlines general guidelines for EAS configuration activation and use, and state activation procedures. Local area notification procedures are outlined in the twelve (12) Ohio Local Area EAS plans. Notifiers must have EAS encoder equipment. Notifiers without EAS equipment must activate the EAS through a notifier with the proper EAS encoder. LP stations serve as the -3-

8 primary contact point for EAS entry and therefore, carry an extra EAS responsibility. With this in mind, key criteria for the selection of Ohio State Primary (SP) and Local Primary (LP) stations was their ability to provide 24-hour staffing. The process of selecting monitoring assignments in the Ohio EAS structure was based on station coverage areas with an emphasis on the ability to span state, local area and county boundaries. This focus provides Ohio with an approach for disseminating EAS messages over all stations and cable systems with coverage serving an impacted area regardless of the physical location of the transmitter or cable head-end equipment. To achieve this capability, cross monitoring and multiple Local Primary (LP) monitoring assignments are required. While this monitoring scheme creates some additional burden on LP stations in hardware procurement and configuration, the benefits of specific and thorough coverage far outweighs these burdens. The ability to fully utilize the automated technology of the EAS to assure 24-hour system reliability and selective signaling was key to the setting of our Ohio EAS goal. Throughout the long-range development of the Ohio EAS, emphasis will be placed on configuring a fully automated but interruptible system. Emphasis will be placed on notifiers having EAS encoders and on the reliable interface of the National Weather Service s Specific Area Message Encoder (SAME) into the Ohio EAS structure. Ohio EAS monitoring assignments specify the monitoring of the Operational Area LP-1 and LP-2 stations by all broadcasters and cable operators and strongly recommend that all broadcasters and cable operators monitor the NOAA weather radio station issuing weather warnings for counties within their coverage area. The approval to monitor a LP-3 station is granted when difficulties are encountered in receiving a LP-1 or LP-2 station. -4-

9 The Ohio EAS Plan envisions the possible need for long form statewide emergency programs. For this reason, we have developed an emergency program relay network, shown in Attachment III. Procedures for implementation and use of this network are covered under Sections I and I, Broadcaster s Procedures. V. ORIGINATING STATIONS A. The State of Ohio Emergency Alert System s originating station is WNCI (FM), Columbus, Ohio (97.9 MHz), designated the State Primary (SP) station. The State of Ohio Emergency Alert System s alternate originating station is WLVQ-FM, Columbus, Ohio (96.3 MHz), designated the alternate State Primary station. If WNCI cannot be contacted, WLVQ should be notified and requested to activate the state of Ohio EAS. B. In the case of localized emergency situations not involving the entire state, state level notifiers may request activation of the EAS on a local operational area basis through WNCI or through the local area Local Primary (LP) stations serving the affected area. (See Local Area Plans) VI. EAS MESSAGE PROTOCOL A. The EAS system uses a four-part message structure for emergency activation. The four parts are (1) The preamble and EAS header codes; (2) The audio attention signal; (3) The EAS message audio text and (4) The preamble and end-of-message code. The description of the protocol that follows is provided for informational purposes only. The actual generation of EAS messages is accomplished through the use of FCC type accepted EAS Encoder/Decoder equipment. EAS Encoder/Decoder equipment software generates the header and end-ofmessage codes using plain English entries, through menu prompts. The equipment user interface works much like a bank ATM machine. The FCC protocol is as follows: -5-

10 (1) The Preamble and EAS Header The preamble and EAS header code contains specific information related to the origination, handling and routing of the EAS message. An EAS encoder transmits the code three times with a one-second pause between transmissions. The originator code part of this header is pre-set once by the user. The code is then sent automatically by the Encoder as part of each message activation. The following originator codes will be used as part of the Ohio EAS. ORIGINATOR Broadcast station or cable system Civil authorities National Weather Service Primary Entry Point system Emergency Action Notification CODE EAS CIV WR PEP (National use only) EAN (National use only) Within the EAS header is an eight-character identification code. These eightcharacters identify the broadcaster, cable operator, NWS office, or civil authority sending or relaying the message. After initial programming, the EAS encoder will automatically affix this code to all outgoing EAS messages. The identification codes in Ohio will follow the convention shown in the examples given below: WHBCAMFM Broadcast station combo WHBC(FM) Single broadcast station WLW/(AM) Single broadcast station NWS/KCLE NWS, NOAA weather radio STARCOEM County Emergency Management. (Example, Stark County) STARCOSO County Sheriff. (Example, Stark County) OHIOSTEM State EOC/Emergency Management Agency LOROHADE Lorain Adelphia Cable Communications -6-

11 Other suggested identification codes should be submitted to the SECC for approval and inclusion in the State and Local Operational area EAS Plans. Identification codes for county notifier encoders can be found in the Local Operational Area Plans. Identification codes for cable systems will consist of the first three letters of the city of the cable head end, followed by the OH for Ohio, followed by the three letter designator for the cable company name. The cable company name designators are as follows: Adelphia Cable Communications ADE Americable USA AMU Ameritech New Media AME Armstrong Cable Services ARM ATT Broadband ATT B. R. Cablevision, Inc. BRC Buckeye Cablevision BUC Cable Co-op CAC Cable One CAO Cablevision Communications (Woodsfield) CCM Century Ohio Cable Television CEN Charter Communications CHA Classic Cable CLA Clear Picture, Inc.

12 Richards Cable TV Co., Inc. Riley Video Services Telephone Service Company Time Warner Cable Watch TV Wellington Cable Communications Wide Open West RIC RIL TSC TWC WAT WCA WID (2) Audio Attention Signal The audio attention signal is a two-tone signal transmitted after the EAS header code. This signal is 8 seconds in duration and serves to alert listeners to an upcoming emergency broadcast. (3) EAS Message Text The EAS message text is the actual text of the emergency message to be transmitted. All Ohio statewide EAS messages will begin with the statement: WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM TO ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM and end with the statement: THIS CONCLUDES THIS EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM MESSAGE. This audio message, including open, close and body must be limited to two minutes in order to fit within the recording space provided in the EAS Decoders. (4) End of Message Code The end-of-message-code is transmitted by the encoder three times with one second pauses between transmissions. Its purpose is to return automated broadcast programming equipment to normal programming after an EAS interruption. B. The EAS Protocol described above is taken from the FCC Rules, Part 11, and shall be used exclusively by the Ohio EAS System. Each participating station and subject cable system and notifier in the state shall program their EAS Decoder to facilitate the proper functioning of the system as described in this State Plan and the 12 Local Operational Area Plans. -8-

13 C. Ohio EAS Event Codes: Whether used under the authority of the Ohio State EAS Plan, or any of the 12 Local Operational Area EAS Plans, the following are the only EAS Event Codes to be used in Ohio by anyone for any purpose. No codes can be added without SECC/FCC approval. This list will be maintained as a Master List for all event codes used in the State of Ohio. Warning Codes These are codes critical to the rapid dissemination of emergency information. This entire list must be programmed into your EAS Encoder/Decoder.

14 VII. MONITORING ASSIGNMENTS A. As indicated in Paragraph V, WNCI is the State Primary station and will be the originator for State of Ohio EAS messages. WLVQ, the alternate State Primary station will serve as the alternate originator for the State of Ohio EAS and will monitor WNCI. Local Primary stations will monitor other LP stations as shown on the LP Monitoring Map, Attachment I. B. All participating (PN) State of Ohio broadcast stations and subject cable systems shall monitor the LP-1 and LP-2 stations serving their local operational area, unless specified otherwise in the Operational Area Plan. C. In addition to their assigned LP stations, all stations and cable systems participating in the Ohio EAS are encouraged to monitor the appropriate NOAA weather radio station serving their area. This is particularly important for LP stations. A complete list of NOAA weather stations and the counties for which they provide weather warnings is Attachment IV. D. Details on specific monitoring assignments for Ohio EAS participating stations and cable systems are outlined in the 12 Ohio Operational Area EAS Plans. If monitoring difficulties are experienced, the operational area chairman should be consulted in resolving the problem. The operational area chairmen will co-ordinate any waiver necessary with the SECC chairman and the FCC. VIII. RESPONSIBILITIES OF LOCAL PRIMARY STATIONS A. Local Primary (LP) stations serving the Ohio EAS System are chosen on the basis of signal coverage and their ability and willingness to serve in this important key capacity. LP stations are normally required to operate 24 hours per day and if possible, be attended operations. B. In accepting this plan, all LP stations agree to transmit any EAS messages requested by official EAS notifiers identified in this and their Local Operational Area Plan. To do this, LP -10-

15 stations must install telephone coupler equipment for use in providing notifier access. Additionally, LP stations, as they deem necessary, agree to re-transmit any received message carrying any of the warning event codes specified in Paragraph VI, C, which are originated in their or any adjoining local operational areas. This will ensure message dissemination through all broadcast and cable media, which may have listeners, viewers or subscribers in the area affected by the emergency. This will require effort and attention to detail in EAS decoder programming station operational planning and staff training. LP station engineers or other responsible personnel should consult their local operational area chairman, adjoining area chairmen and the state chairman in coordinating this important function. C. LP stations must program their EAS decoders to accept emergency messages carrying location codes for all counties which are covered, in whole or in part, by any station or cable system in their local operational area. Attachment II is a listing of LP Station County Programming. All other participating stations must program their EAS Encoders to accept emergency messages carrying location codes for all counties, which are covered, in whole or in part, by their secondary coverage contour. I. STATE PROGRAM RELAY NETWORK A. The SECC envisions the possible need for program length messages which would be originated by the Ohio Emergency Management Agency in the event of a statewide emergency situation. Therefore, a program relay network has been established and is shown in Attachment III. These program length messages would be carried by the State Primary station and relayed to all points in the state at a time which would be predetermined and announced via a statewide EAS activation. The activation alert would flow through the State LP monitoring web and would provide program join information to all participating stations and cable systems. B. It is important for all LP stations to pay particular attention to the program relay network fan-out so as to bring the correct relay station into their board. Transmitting audio from the -11-

16 wrong monitored station in this situation could result in severing the delivery system. Attachment I outlines the monitoring assignments for all LP stations.. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES A. Notifiers: The agencies named below shall serve as notifiers for the State of Ohio EAS. Other agencies may request activation of the State of Ohio EAS, but they must do so through one of the notifiers listed below: (1) Governor of the State of Ohio. (2) Ohio Emergency Management Agency (3) Ohio State Highway Patrol. (4) National Weather Service. (5) County Emergency Management Agency Directors (local operational area only) (6) County Sheriff (local operational area only) B. Notification of a statewide alert can be accomplished by sending the preformatted alert from the Emergency Operations Center/Joint Dispatch Facility (EOC/JDF) using an EAS encoder to the State Primary or Alternate State Primary station. The EOC/JDF houses the offices of the Ohio EMA and the Ohio State Highway Patrol dispatch center. This facility serves as the EAS notification point and is connected to the state primary station by a Remote Pickup Unit (RPU) radio link. C. Requests for Activation: Requests for activation of the State of Ohio EAS will be made by contacting WNCI, the State Primary station by telephone or by remote pickup unit. If the SP station cannot be contacted, WLVQ, the alternate SP, shall be contacted. WNCI and WLVQ have provided notifiers telephone numbers for direct access into station EAS equipment and to reach station operators. Local activation will be accomplished in accordance with the procedures outlined in the 12 Local Operational Area EAS Plans. Ohio EAS messages will be formatted to begin and end with the following statements: -12-

17 We interrupt this program to activate the Emergency Alert System (text of emergency message). This concludes this Emergency Alert System message. D. Severe Weather Warnings: The National Weather Service (NWS) will serve as the primary notifier for severe weather warnings and subsequent weather information. The NWS, WNCI and the LP stations have agreed upon detailed activation procedures. The primary means of NWS activation of the Ohio EAS will be over NWS-Specific Area Message Encoder (SAME) through station monitoring of the NOAA weather radio system. The NWS may, through agreements with LP stations, contact those stations directly by telephone for EAS activation in localized weather situations. I. BROADCASTERS PROCEDURE A. Upon receipt of a pre-formatted EAS alert from an authorized notifier, the SP or alternate SP station shall re-transmit that alert immediately. B. All broadcast stations and cable systems in the State of Ohio monitoring the key EAS (LP) stations will be alerted by their EAS decoders based on the event and location codes contained in the EAS digital header. Upon receipt of a valid EAS message each station or cable system must re-transmit the message within 15 minutes of receipt. (See requirements in Paragraph III, B.) If a program length message is to be transmitted, stations should arrange to join the Emergency Program Relay Network at the announced time. C. All messages must be based on definite and confirmed facts. This can best be assured by using the notifier s original audio message as transmitted through the EAS decoder/encoder equipment. Discussion of unconfirmed facts can lead to public confusion and heightened anxiety. D. Upon completion of the EAS transmission, appropriate notations must be entered into the station log. It is suggested that the FCC s EAS office be notified of EAS activation by filing FCC Form

18 II. LEGAL MATTERS A. As a reminder to broadcasters, the following legal points are made regarding emergency alert operations. (For complete information, consult FCC Rules and Regulations, Part 11) B. While the broadcast of EAS messages is encouraged, use of Ohio EAS material is solely up to the discretion of individual station or cable system management. Although the activation of the EAS is discretional at the state and local levels, if it is activated, all communications facilities within the affected area that are participating in the EAS at the state or local level are expected to take part in the activation and to follow the requirements of the FCC s rules, the EAS Operating Handbook, and the State and Local Operational Area Plans. (See FCC Rules, Part 11, Secs , and ) C. All participating stations and cable systems have permission to rebroadcast Ohio EAS messages. Such rebroadcast permission begins with issuance of the EAS signaling and alert tones, and ends with the EAS end-of-message code. Stations and cable systems are encouraged to configure their EAS encoders for automatic relay of EAS messages. Unattended stations must operate EAS encoders in automatic mode. D. In the event of EAS activation, stations with certain power, pattern and operating hours limitations may forego those limitations subject to FCC Rules and Regulations. III. STEPS BROADCASTERS AND CABLE OPERATORS MUST TAKE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OHIO EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM -14-

19 A. The Ohio State Emergency Communications Committee (SECC) has set the following requirements for participation in the Ohio EAS Plan. The success of the Ohio EAS will depend totally on operating staff readiness, equipment configuration and adherence to these steps. B. All stations and cable systems must have an EAS Encoder/Decoder installed with audio inputs from the LP-1 and LP-2 stations serving their Local Operational Area. In addition, input from a NWS weather radio source is strongly encouraged. C. The following Decoder/Encoder programming must be accomplished in order to participate in the plan: For Radio and TV Stations: Decoders must be programmed to accept alerts using all the warning event codes given in Paragraph VI, C, as a minimum. Decoders must also be programmed to accept alerts containing all county location codes within their secondary coverage contour. The EAS station specification sheets found in the Local Operational Area Plan should be used as a guide. TV stations must transmit all received alerts in accordance with FCC Rules (d). For Cable System Head Ends: Decoders must be programmed to accept alerts for all warning event codes given in Paragraph VI, C. Decoders must be programmed to accept alerts containing county location codes for all counties covered, in whole or in part, by the system. Cable systems must transmit all received alerts in accordance with FCC Rules in Par (g) and (h). EAS equipment should be configured to notify station personnel of any EAS activation. LP stations must program their decoders for additional location codes as prescribed in this plan. Unless a facility is attended 24 hours by operators trained in EAS operation, encoder/decoder equipment should be configured to automatically rebroadcast properly addressed EAS messages. NOTE: (The SECC recognizes the problems encountered in large cable systems, where selective delivery to specific areas may not be possible, resulting in alerts being received by subscribers, -15-

20 which may not be affected by the alert. However, the SECC expects that all alerts be sent. The information contained in the alert itself is sufficient to allow subscribers to determine if the alert applies to them.) D. Placement of EAS equipment is critical. It must be placed where regular operating personnel can hear it and observe the message printer on the decoder, at any time. E. Each station and cable system is unique in the role that it plays in the EAS system. Operating personnel are expected to consult their Local Operational Area EAS Plan and confer with the chairperson of the local operational area on the specific details and requirements for fulfilling their EAS requirements. F. Stations and cable systems should, based on this plan and their local area plan, develop their own standard operating procedures. Station personnel should post those procedures at the EAS equipment for quick reference. A copy of this plan alone cannot possibly be considered adequate for operating personnel to use a guide at the time of activation, nor can operating personnel be expected to remember what to do after studying this plan. This plan must be applied to each facility. Therefore a clear, concise step-by-step operating procedure, readily available, for operating personnel to use at the time of an emergency, is absolutely necessary if the EAS is to be successful. G. The State EAS has both audio and video capabilities. Television stations and cable TV systems participating in the Ohio EAS should have systems configured at all times to air the EAS message crawler as well as audio during EAS messages. All participating stations and cable systems are encouraged to purchase EAS equipment with multiple monitoring capabilities. This should include as a minimum the ability to monitor two over-the-air broadcast stations plus a NOAA weather radio station. LP-1 and LP-2 station equipment should also allow for the telephone interface of notifiers encoders or the interface of existing remote pickup unit -16-

21 equipment, if appropriate. Local Primary stations should pay particular attention to their multiple monitoring responsibilities when selecting EAS equipment. H. All participating stations and cable systems should assign a permanent input on their master control console to receive program audio from the LP station, State Relay station, or other assigned source as shown in the program relay network chart, Attachment III. IV. TEST PROCEDURES A. EAS weekly tests of the EAS header and end-of-message codes must be conducted by all stations and cable systems in accordance with FCC Rules. This is known as the Required Weekly Test (RWT). B. Monthly tests will originate from Ohio s 24 Local Primary (LP) stations on the following schedule. These tests will be conducted in accordance with the FCC Rules and Regulations. State and local area tests must be re-transmitted within 60 minutes of receipt by all participating EAS stations and cable systems. Additional information and schedules on monthly local area tests (RMT) can be found in your Local Operational Area EAS Plan. MONTH TIME FRAME STATION ORIGINATING SOURCE January Daytime / 8:30 AM to Local Sunset LP-1 Station Staff or County EOC February Nighttime / Local Sunset to 8:30 AM LP-2 Station Staff or County EOC March Daytime / Statewide Tornado Test SP State EOC/JDF Staff April Nighttime / Local Sunset to 8:30 AM LP-1 Station Staff or County EOC May Daytime / 8:30 AM to Local Sunset LP-2 Station Staff or County EOC June Nighttime / Local Sunset to 8:30 AM LP-2 Station Staff or County EOC July Daytime / 8:30 AM to Local Sunset LP-1 Station Staff or County EOC August Nighttime / Local Sunset to 8:30 AM LP-1 Station Staff or County EOC September Daytime / 8:30 AM to Local Sunset LP-2 Station Staff or County EOC October Nighttime / Local Sunset to 8:30 AM SP State EOC/JDF Staff November Daytime / 8:30 AM to Local Sunset LP-1 Station Staff or County EOC December Nighttime / Local Sunset to 8:30 AM LP-2 Station Staff or County EOC C. Statewide EAS tests will be conducted twice each year and will count as the required monthly test for the month in which it runs. One of these tests will take place as part of the Ohio Severe Weather Awareness Week activities, held in March of each year. This test will be -17-

22 conducted on a Wednesday in March at 9:50 A.M. A second statewide EAS test will be conducted in October at 4:50 A.M. Statewide EAS tests will be originated by the Ohio EMA from the State Emergency Operations Center/Joint Dispatch Facility (EOC/JDF). This facility will serve as the State EAS primary notification point during an actual emergency. D. The following script will be used for statewide tests: THIS IS A STATEWIDE TEST OF THE OHIO EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM, ORIGINATING FROM THE STATE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER IN COLUMBUS. THIS IS ONLY A TEST. THE OHIO EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH TIMELY WARNINGS AND EMERGENCY INFORMATION. HAD THIS BEEN AN ACTUAL EMERGENCY, YOU WOULD HAVE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION RELATED TO THAT EMERGENCY OVER THIS AND OTHER STATIONS IN YOUR AREA. THIS CONCLUDES THIS TEST OF THE OHIO EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM. V. STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE A. The State Emergency Communications Committee (SECC) Chairman, Vice Chairman and Cable Co-Chairman are appointed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). SECC members include the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the 12 Local Operational Areas, the Cable Co-Chairman and other voluntary members appointed by the SECC Chairman. B. The Local Operational Area Emergency Communications Committee (LECC) Chairmen and Vice Chairmen are appointed by the State Emergency Communications Committee Chairman.
